Great White & Slaughter
Friday, May 29, 2026 at 8 PM
Great White
For a band to continue to thrive for 40 years in the music business, the mantra must be, these songs are bigger than any one member. GRAMMY-nominated hard rock legends Great White are adding onto that line with the saying: expect the unexpected. It’s rock and roll, baby. Great White’s ride runs deep, and its passion for the music goes beyond any depth.
Four decades in, Great White enlists Brett Carlisle to take over vocal duties and lead the charge on hit after hit. That arsenal of songs includes the GRAMMY-nominated Best Hard Rock Performance hit, “Once Bitten, Twice Shy.” Great White has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, has six Top 100 Billboard hits, nine Top 200 Billboard albums, two platinum albums, and clocked the top of MTV four times. To experience their hits, live in concert— “Rock Me,” “Mista Bone,” “Save Your Love,” “House of Broken Love,” and “Lady Red Light”—is to ride an emotional wave of sultry connections, arousing lyrics, and an all-out marathon of hard-hitting orchestrations.
California-based Great White is Mark Kendall (guitar), Michael Lardie (guitar, keyboards), Audie Desbrow (drums), Scott Snyder (bass), and Brett Carlisle (vocals). Since 1982, the Great White sound has captivated audiences worldwide with crushing, blues-based guitar riffs and swagger that invokes an emotional high for anyone who listens.
Now for more than a decade, Snyder has merged his unforgiving rhythm with Desbrow’s relentless percussion. Carlisle, born and raised in Alabama, brings a Southern rock charm laced with Bayou blue-based grit. From an early gig at the famed Los Angeles Troubadour to sharing arena stages with
rock’s biggest names like Judas Priest, Whitesnake, Scorpions, to globe-trotting alongside contemporaries Slaughter, Vixen, Skid Row, Vince Neil and more – Great White continues to bring its exhilarating live performance to the masses.
Slaughter
In 1990, Slaughter hit radio, MTV, and the U.S. touring circuit like a tornado - coming seemingly out of nowhere to roll through everything in its path and turn it upside down. Touring the world with bands that they loved, Kiss, Ozzy, and others meant the good times were just a song away, and their first hit single, "Up All Night" certainly fit into that mold, their second chart-topper, "Fly to The Angels" was more representative of the spirituality and awareness that goes into most of the band's music and lyrics. But never was Slaughter more accurately represented than live onstage in front of their legions of devoted fans.
A year later, the band had garnered during their first tour, the band released "Stick It Live," a five-song EP collection which entered the Billboard charts and went gold as quickly as it was released. The band went on to record "The Wild Life", its second record after a consistent schedule of touring behind the multi-platinum debut, "Stick It to Ya." During this time, the band was awarded the prestigious American Music Award. The "WildLife" CD entered the Billboard charts the first week of release in the top ten at #8.
With musical climates changing, the band embarked on a bit of a psychedelic approach, still maintaining a good time spirit with often more challenging songs to be recorded. In 1998, they released their sixth record, "Eternal Live,” and their first full-length live release. Recorded in Mexico in front of more than 20,000 fans and one in their hometown, Las Vegas, "Eternal Live" captures the excitement of a Slaughter performance and showcases 12 songs off their earlier albums.
For the past decade, Slaughter has continued to tour, performing 40 - 50 shows per year at casinos, fairs, festivals, and biker rallies across the US to record-breaking audiences. Slaughter has furthermore enjoyed successful festival shows in Sweden, Japan, Mexico & Germany. Slaughter has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent, a band can survive and win over the support of fans, regardless of what others may say about the quality of their music. What's most important is that their music is still here, and most critics who panned them in the past are not, and that's as good as gold. Here's to 30 years of Rock ‘n Roll and the Love of Music and the Love of Life.
